The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2588 - 2577: Choice

"Crazy Old Man, what’s going on? It seems like a lot of powerful auras are approaching here?" Lu Shuncai frowned and asked.

Duan Guangzhi also sensed something was amiss, "Crazy Old Man, are you hiding something from us?"

Fan Qianrong gave a bitter smile and said, "The young man on the Hes’ wanted notice is now within the Shens. Many cultivators saw him come to the Shens back then."

Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi suddenly realized why so many strong individuals were closing in.

"Who exactly is that kid? Did he provoke the Hes in the Upper World to put out a wanted notice?"

Lu Shuncai looked at Shen Xiuhai and said, "Old Shen, you guys better not get involved in this mess. One careless move, and the Shens could face utter destruction."

Shen Xiuhai said solemnly, "He is a benefactor to our Shen family. We absolutely won’t act ungrateful."

Fan Qianrong knew that by now, there was no point in hiding anything. He was aware of Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi’s personalities; if they were willing to help, the trouble could be mitigated significantly.

After all, including himself, the three of them were the strongest alchemists in the Middle Realm; many strong individuals owed them favors. If they spoke up, those strong individuals should be willing to show them some respect.

Although Shen Xiutian, who had awakened, possessed Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm strength, two fists couldn’t fend off four hands. Faced with the Hes’ wanted notice, it was enough to make most of the strong in the Middle Realm serve them.

Feeling the increasingly approaching auras, Fan Qianrong said, "This young man is my master. He’s a true Supreme Alchemist."

Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi didn’t want to plunge into troubled waters; they were kindly reminding Shen Xiuhai. But who would have thought Shen Xiuhai insisted on protecting this kid, and what did Fan Qianrong say? He claimed that this kid was a Supreme Alchemist? How could that be?

For a moment, the two of them couldn’t snap back to reality. They simply couldn’t believe what Fan Qianrong had said.

Shen Xiuhai also said, "Old Fan is right; our benefactor is indeed a Supreme Alchemist."

Upon hearing Shen Xiuhai’s repetition, Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi suddenly came to.

"Crazy Old Man, Old Shen, are you trying to drag us down with you? You don’t have to make up something so absurd, do you?" Lu Shuncai furrowed his brows and said.

Fan Qianrong’s expression was very serious, "Do you think I would joke about something like this? Alchemy has always been sacred in my heart and my lifelong pursuit. My master is indeed a Supreme Alchemist, and now my master is only thirty years old."

"Back then, the one who performed alchemy in the Barbarian Wasteland Mountains was my master. The Supreme Elixir that emerged was crafted by my master. This is my master’s Infinite Element Breaking Pill."

Fan Qianrong took out a pill that Ye Chenfeng had once given him and continued, "I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Could there be a mistake? You two old fellows shouldn’t look at my master with the eyes of ordinary people. Besides being a Supreme Alchemist, my master’s cultivation has reached the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm."

"Just imagine, since the Chaos Era, who has achieved such accomplishments at the age of thirty? I believe the Hes are worried that my master will rise up and replace them one day."

After hearing Fan Qianrong’s repeated statements, Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi were left dumbfounded, especially upon seeing the Supreme Elixir in Fan Qianrong’s hand. They were internally resistant to believing it, but they also knew Fan Qianrong wouldn’t lie. They had known Fan Qianrong for many years.

"Since the Hes want to put my master on their wanted list, how could I, Fan Qianrong, be a coward? If you two don’t want to get involved, you can leave on your own!"

Upon hearing Fan Qianrong’s words, Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi immediately became displeased, with Lu Shuncai saying, "Crazy Old Man, what do you take us for? I just misspoke a moment ago."

"Breaking through to Supreme Alchemist is a distant dream for me. If I can’t break through to Supreme in this life, living won’t mean much. Being owed a favor by a Supreme Alchemist is a worthwhile deal."

Duan Guangzhi also said, "I’ll also stay to lend you a hand."

"Now that you’ve even crafted Supreme Elixirs, Shen Xiutian should be recovered, right? With someone at Late Stage Divine Emperor Realm on our side, plus us here, we shouldn’t face too big an issue today at least."

As Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi chose to stay and help.

A series of auras instantly flooded into the Shen residence. Those strong arrivals didn’t even make an announcement; they directly walked into the Shen household and finally appeared in front of Shen Xiuhai, Fan Qianrong, and others.

Shen Xiuhai coldly shouted, "Everyone, rudely intruding into the Shen residence, do you know what ’manners’ even mean?"

"Shen Xiuhai, stop putting on airs. The kid on the Hes’ wanted notice is here within the Shens now. Hand him over immediately! Does the Shen family intend to become the Middle Realm’s enemy? Are you planning to oppose the Hes from the Upper World?"

"If the Shen family hands over that kid, maybe this matter can be settled. Otherwise, the Shen family will be leveled today."

...

Confronted by the words tossed around by the surrounding strong individuals.

Fan Qianrong, Lu Shuncai, and Duan Guangzhi kept furrowing their brows.

"Old Bai the Third, still remember who made the elixir that brought you back to life back then? And now you’re here shouting threats? If you still remember that kindness, then leave the Shen family immediately." Lu Shuncai shouted at one of the Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm old men.

"Old Sun, a century ago, I spent a lot of effort making an elixir to help you break through your bottleneck. You said you owed me a favor. Isn’t it time to repay it now? Don’t come to the Shen family for trouble anymore." Duan Guangzhi shouted as well.

Following this, Fan Qianrong and the other two did the same.

Under the scolding of these three old men, a large portion of the strong individuals blushed and retreated, declaring they wouldn’t get involved in today’s affair.

However, a few Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm old men showed no intention of retreating. From their perspective, having fewer competitors was a good thing. The fewer people, the more benefits they could gain.

"I, Hua Nanming, owe no favors to you, so you must hand over the kid the Hes want today. You three may be considerable figures in the Middle Realm, but what are you in the Upper World? There are Supreme Alchemists in the Upper World, and you dare to go against the Hes of the Upper World? Are you thinking you’re living too long?"

A Mid Stage Divine Emperor Realm old man dressed in white robes sneered repeatedly. He wasn’t afraid of the Shen family. Although many had withdrawn, the number of Middle Stage Divine Emperor Realm experts on his side still exceeded that of Shen Xiuhai’s group.
